I need your support for the Equality Act. U.S. REP. JENNIFER WEXTON.

David,

In the coming weeks, Congress will take a major step forward in advancing
LGBTQ rights. The House will be voting on the Equality Act,
which ensures that sexual orientation and gender identity are covered under
federal civil rights laws.

As much progress as we’ve made
in the last decade for LGBTQ equality, we still have a long way to go.

Right now, Americans in a majority of states can be fired from their jobs,
denied credit, or evicted from their homes just because of who they are and
who they love. The Trump administration has taken measures to ban transgender
Americans from serving in the military and make it harder for same-sex
couples to adopt.

Passing the Equality Act will send a powerful message that we stand
for fairness and justice, and it will improve the lives of millions of
Americans.
